We are a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), the peak body for Australian aid and development agencies. ACFID was founded in 1965 and has more than 100 member agencies.

ACFID helps to provide a co-ordinated voice from the Australian aid agency sector on issues that affect the world’s poor, and contributes strongly to the Micah and Make Poverty History campaigns.

The ACT Alliance is a coalition of 145 churches and affiliated organisations working together in more than 100 countries to create positive and sustainable change in the lives of poor and marginalised people regardless of their religion, politics, gender, sexual orientation, race or nationality, and in keeping with the highest international codes and standards.

We often respond to disasters and emergencies through our membership of the ACT Alliance, but that’s not all that the ACT Alliance does.

Through advocacy the ACT Alliance seeks to influence decision makers, policies, structures and systems to bring about a just, peaceful and sustainable world. Advocacy priorities for the ACT Alliance include human rights issues, particularly for women and girls, and issues related to climate change and the environment.

The Anglican Alliance brings together those in the global Anglican family of churches and agencies to work for a world free of poverty and injustice, to be a voice for the voiceless, to reconcile those in conflict, and to safeguard the Earth. As part of its work, the Alliance draws Anglican agencies together to campaign on issues of human rights, climate and the environment, women’s issues and gender-based violence, tax justice, human trafficking and more.

The Church Agencies Network (CAN) is a consortium of eleven Church based organisations (Agencies) engaged in overseas aid and development in countries throughout the world but primarily in the Pacific, South East Asia and Africa. Each Agency is accredited with the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to raise funds from the Australian public and is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID). The Church Agencies Network Disaster Operations (CAN DO), is a collaboration of eight of the eleven Agencies working to strengthen communities facing humanitarian crises.

Anglican Overseas Aid is fully accredited with the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which makes us a trusted recipient of funds from the Australian Government’s aid budget.
